Another change in forum behavior?

Some else I seem to have noticed this week.
My normal method of working with the forum is to go to the "content" tab and read the messages from the bottom, up (oldest to newest) starting with the message that has a 'last update' timestamp that is about the last time I checked. If I reply to a thread, I just hit the browser (Firefox) back button to go back to the content listing. In the past (with the new forum) this seemed to force a page refresh, because the thread I had just responded to would have jumped to the top (newest) of the list. Now when I go back, it seems to get the page from local cache, as all the threads are still where they were.
Not that one is necessarily better than the other, but the change obviously indicates, well, a change.

I think me that an old thread has sprung to life. As there have not been any changes to staff of late, I think I'll go ahead and close this ... for now. I hope this is not an omen.
On a related note, I cannot believe it has only been a little over a year since I accepted the invitation to moderate these forums. It seems longer, somehow.
Anyway, it is an honor I intend to continue for the foreseeable future.

Change keyboard tab behavior

This one is tough to search for, with so much duplicity of meaning in the words key, tab, navigate, etc.
I have a tabular form where the optimal way to navigate is to go down each column instead of across each row; i.e. when the tab key is pressed, I want the focus to change from the current cell to the cell in the same column but immediately below the current cell.
I looked at html tabindex, and I'm not sure how to make that work.
So: can tabindex be used to change the navigation behavior of the tab key? Or, is there another way to change the tab key behavior to go column by column instead of row by row?
TIA.
Rick.

Rick - I know that is possible (in theory) to trap the keystroke using JavaScript and replace it (or, do a focus() call or similar to move the focus to another element), but figuring out where you are in the table can get quite hairy.
To be honest, it's one of these things we've been meaning to implement on one of our apps (our issue is moving to the next element when the user presses ENTER), but haven't got round to yet.
I'd therefore be very interested to hear if you crack it (either using JS or some other method).
Cheers,
John.

Okay, don't change the forums anymore!

No, really. I think it's actually...... functioning correctly in the new version of Opera 10.51 (PJ confirm? I know you got it installed, hehe.) when running under Mask as Firefox mode. Exciting, isn't it? It's fast too!!! (Although, that's probably more thanks to Opera than anything.) Opera > Chrome again!
The forums are still mickey mouse point-counting silly places, but I think I can live with that. I may have to retire from serious anti-Jive campaigning until the next version comes out to break things again...
Hope I don't find any unexpected bugs, but it seems we can change the forum (decent) compatibility list to:
Chrome
Opera

If you are talking about the extra linerfeeds/carriage returns introduced by the software, the cure is to type Enter twice before starting to write your message. Workaround posted by Curt Y.
Hmm, that might be changing the behavior slightly but even after doing that (in Opera) hitting enter on a line of text isn't doing what it normally does on Planet Earth. Still in Planet Jive mode it seems! Not quite sure yet what the text box rules are for "enter twice" mode.
Still I think I'll be going back to Chrome again (until that breaks too), as I have no desire for developing bizarre obsessive-compulsive habits before I start typing in every text box I see.
And people wonder why I damn JavaScript and AJAX hacks to the hells for all eternity...

The answer helped me.But still, what are the settings that I have to change for the behavior of the mouse pointer towards finder? Also the mouse pointer sometimes doesn't accept my command and start clicking itself.what is the problem and how to fix it?

If the mouse clicks something on its own then it looks like you have a hardware problem with the trackpad or possibly the battery that is right underneath the trackpad.
I have read that the battery can swell and that would put pressure on the trackpad.

Changing (overriding) default behavior of af:inputText

Hi all,
Is it possible to change the default behavior of the <af:inputText> or add a new one by overriding CoreInputText . e.g: like oracle forms, enter button to navigate to next item.
Thanks in advance,
Ahmad Esbita

InputTexts are more than enough for me, but I was wondering if I can add some kind of functionality to them and if yes, how ?
In my post the example was :"enter button to navigate" , some people are used to the idea of enter button navigation such as accountants ,they also relay on the mouse poorly when they are working,and what if we are asked to provide this property, and thats all.
Regards,
Ahmad Esbita

Change my forum user name

Is it possible to change my forum user name?

It's not a big deal and I don't want to make it so. It's just that it would be nice if there were something in place to deal with situations like mine. I have a MobileMe account now that I have a Mac. There is no way to associate my MobileMe .ME email address with my current profile, and I would like to reconcile that email with my user ID. So, the logic goes, if I could change the user ID associated with my non-MobileMe email, then that would free up my current (and preferred) user ID to be usable with my MobileMe email address.
Like I say, I'm not trying to make a big deal out of it, but it would be nice if Apple would make some provision to link a MobileMe email with an existing user ID instead of throwing up a brick wall between the two, thus forcing a new MobileMe user (and presumably a new Mac users) from having to choose between continuing to use their established (and presumably preferred) user ID and having to create a new user ID in the forums simply to be able to use their new MobileMe email address.
That's all I'm trying to do.

How do I change mouse button behavior in firefox to make new mouse shortcuts?

Hi,
For some time now I've wondered if it is possible to easily change the default behavior of mouse buttons in Firefox. What I'd like to do is define a new mouse button combination which replicates the function of an already-defined keyboard shortcut. In particular, currently, when one holds down the shift key while left-clicking the mouse while over a link, that link is opened in a new window. What I'd like to do is to have exactly the same behavior occur when I click and hold the left mouse button while pressing and releasing the right mouse button. This then makes opening a link in a new window a menu-less, one-handed operation.
Anyone have any ideas how this might be done? Thanks!

Hello,
Does this addon - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mousecontrol/ meet your requirement? Also, you can check the list of mouse shortcuts here [[Use mouse shortcuts to perform common tasks in Firefox]]
Hope this helps.

How would e-mail address change affect forum?

How company recently changed e-mail addresses for all the employees. Both the format of the username and the domain changed as well. Our old address will still work for 2 years before they wipe it out, but of course they want us to start using the new address now.
Many websites, including NI discussion forums, use a person's e-mail address as the login name. When the e-mail address becomes inactive, how does that affect my interaction on the discussion forums? Obviously, I could still login using the old e-mail address. But any e-mails from the forum for things such as subscriptions to threads would no longer work. I could not find any place in my profile settings to update my e-mail address for subscription purposes. Of course, I expect it to be difficult to change the forum login name since that would be my unique identifier in the forum.
This shouldn't really cause me any problems for almost 2 years. And I'm sure I'll have to deal with it on other websites that use your e-mail address as the login name such as sites that I purchase products from.
Anyone else had similar problems with e-mail address changes? It makes me wonder, if the new e-mail address is supposed to be better, why didn't they use the new format way all along.

The profile is site wide and not specific to the forums. To change the email address associated with the user, click the MyNI link at the top of each page and then the Modify Profile link.
Try to take over the world!

Creating a Better Description for the Change Management forum

Hi Community,
You are invited to post suggestions <a href="https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?forumID=200&threadID=249364">to help clarify this forum descripton</a> for the Change Management forum (as a posted to a Change Request forum)
Hint: I'm hoping that we will be discussing Change Management which includes Business Process Improvement changes, new paradigms, new role definitions and not merely application improvements and changes.
Also, I invite good definitions for a separate technical forum to be created to discuss Transport and Change Requests questions as those seem to be the ones that frequently populate this forum.
Help us help the community to know where to post appropriate queries.
Marilyn

Hello Marilyn,
thanks a lot for the new thread!
Why not use your description, for me, it explains what I'm hoping for in this forum:
We will discuss Change Management which includes Business Process Improvement changes, new paradigms, new role definitions, and all changes that are needed to make an organization fit for the ESOA requirements.
I'd still suggest "organizational change management" as the new name.
For the technical change management I'd suggest the term "SAP change and transport management" - I think everyone dealing with SAP will understand.
A description for the change and transport forum:
This forum deals with issues concerning technical changes to SAP systems, may it be transports within the ABAP world or SDM questions and problems.
From my point of view it would be good to provide a link to "the other forum" from both of these forums.
Kind regards,
Carl

V1.1 changed keyword import behavior???

I searched the FAQ and forum but couldn't find this question posed or answered anywhere. Is it just me or did 1.1 change the way keywords are imported into the existing hierarchy? My scenario: I have thousands of photos flat keyworded in another program that I've been importing into Lightroom since it came out, and organizing the keyword hieracrhy as I go.
In v1.0 - Lightroom automatically filed the keywords that already existed in the catalog for imported photos into the current hierarchy. So, if I had [Animals > Birds > Sparrows] in the catalog and imported a photo with the keyword [Sparrows] it would automatically add it to [Animals > Birds > Sparrows].
In v1.1 - Lightroom now ignores my existing keyword heirarchy on import and creates duplicate keywords even when imported keywords already exist. ARG! This results in [Animals > Birds > Sparrows] and [Sparrows] which is such a pain.
Anyone else notice this? Am I overlooking a simple setting? Is there anyway to get the v1.0 behavior back? Thanks!

That would be nice. To be honest, I love the basic keywording design - I love typing / autofill / selecting my keywords and its way faster for me than scrolling and selecting or even checking little boxes or dragging and dropping. Big improvement could still be made in automating things so that it wasn't still so tedious, for example:
1) allow for assigning independent keyword sets to independent folders (or some other grouping) on IMPORT. i always import by date so every photo goes into a [folder] Year > [Subfolder] Month > [Subfolder] Day. I never keyword on import because my subjects are all over the place and no generic set matches the whole Import. But if I could specify separate sets for each import folder - now that would be useful.
2) i know this is way out there, but what if it used facial recognition algorithms to automatically keyword people names from a configured set of labelled photos... or even if it could learn over time what colors / subjects / patterns / objects get labeled and start auto-keywording.
This is turning into a feature request thread :) I'm still annoyed that the one excellent piece of automation (auto merge on existing keywords at import) is now broken in 1.1.

Changes to mailbox behaviors not being saved.

Hey guys,
I have two Google accounts set up on Apple Mail. When I try to edit the Mailbox Behaviors (under Preferences>Accounts>Mailbox Behaviors) they are never saved. My steps are:
1. Go to Mailbox Behaviors
2. Uncheck Drafts & Sent
3. Click the other account, choose another tab, or close preferences
4. Dialog appears asking if I want to save the changes
5. I choose to SAVE.
6. Go back into Mailbox Behaviors - the changes were not saved (i.e. everything is still checked).
Any ideas? I'm running 10.9 on a retina Macbook Pro.

OK...my previous attempt didnt work as the settings came back after a full sync. However, I found another thread that solved my problem. Hope this helps!

Re: Mavericks Mail app and Gmail Drafts folder
Oct 24, 2013 10:30 AM (in response to Igor D.)
I had the same problem and it was causing dozens of versions of autosaved drafts to appear in my Trash. (Gmail autosaves drafts at the server level and trashes previous saves. The feature is not customizable.)
This fixed it for me, at least for the time being:
1) Quit Mail.app.
2) Log into Gmail in your favorite web browser.
3) Click on the gear menu and select "Settings".
4) Click on the "Labels" tab.
5) Under "System Labels", next to "Drafts", click on "show if unread" and uncheck the "Show in IMAP' box.
Now disable "Store draft messages on the server":
6) Launch Mail.app.
7) Select Mail > Preferences...
8) Click on the "Accounts" button in the toolbar.
9) Click once on the account name and then click the "Mailbox Behaviors" tab.
10) Uncheck the "Store draft messages on the server" box.
11) Close the window and opt to save your changes when prompted.
A few other Gmail / Mavericks Mail.app discoveries:
* You must enable the "Show in IMAP" option for the "All Mail" label in Gmail if you had it disabled before. (Google this tip for explanations and ramifications.)
* Mail.app now seems to automatically map the Sent, Junk, Trash and Drafts folders, i.e. you can't use this menu command anymore: Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > Drafts / Sent / Junk / Trash
* I used to add the "[Gmail]" prefix under the "Advanced" tab of my mail account to eliminate it from the IMAP view, but it doesn't seem to be necessary any more, and might even have been causing some weirdness.

Changes in ACR Behavior

Today I was notified of updates to Bridge and Camera RAW when I rebooted in Win7 64, and changes to Camera RAW only in XP 32.
In Win7 I allowed the updates, and then opened a file to see what I could see. I was shocked by what I saw.
Apparently, the update took some xmp data from a file previous to the update, and applied it as a new default setting for my camera, as if I had myself done that, which I can assure you I did not, as I want to be sure my starting place for the evaluation was consistent, even if incorrect for the particular image.
Here's the changes:
1) All images now read 2010, including images never before opened anywhere and showed 2003 when first opening these in the current ACR. Ok, I can live with that.
2) The Detail menu reflects a set of sharpness and noise settings I applied during my most recent runs for a particular ISO value which I had saved. Again these showed up on images from February never before opened anywhere. Not so acceptable at all.
3) The "Enable Lens Profile Corrections" is now checked...total disagreement here! I have never saved (clicked Done) on any image I used to check the behavior of Lens Corrections.
So, I reset all to the former defaults and saved as new camera raw defaults.
I switched to XP CS5 and the notification of the update showed up. It only said Camera raw updates. I did not allow the updates, but went immediately to the same image I used to check the behavior in Win7 64. They all were at my selected defaults...no sharpening, noise or checked "Enable Lens Profile Corrections" IOW business as usual which I had so carefully selected and matched to the Win7 version.
I ran the updates, and the only change I saw here was that the 2010 now ran without my selecting it, but all the other settings remained at MY default settings.
I am at a loss to explain or accept. There is, of course, the remote possibility I did change the default settings in ACR Win7 version, but the change in "Enable Lens Profile Corrections" would have been excluded.
Or my Fairy Godmother decided I didn't know what the F I am doing and did it for me!
So, it behooves the user to maintain a check on all default settings when updates are applied. I do that anyway, but I can get lazy or in a schedule conflict and simply run it.
Note: What I had hoped I would see: New lens data in ACR is provided including the 18 to 105 is now available. It isn't.
Lawrence
I posted this in error in the Lens Correction Creator thread. My bad!

This is the Lens Profile Creator forum. You might have better luck with a post like this one in the Camera Raw forum.

Another change in forum behavior?
